Mr Fancyshirt has commented that he didn't know what a "tennis shirt" was versus a "T-Shirt". I offer the picture below as a visual aide to the explanation in the comments section.

Is "tennis shirt" just the formal term for T-shirt? If so, I have to admit to not knowing that and enlightened with a deeper understanding of the world.
Well, I thought maybe a tennis shirt and a t-shirt might be the same thing - until I was given a tennis shirt.
Basically, the tennis shirt is it's own thing - made of breathable cloth or synthetics and having a real sense of style, you'd hesitate to wear it beneath something else.
A t-shirt is more utilitarian and less styled. It's meant to be an undergarment that is worn for it's own sake ONLY when you're too lazy to wear/wash anything else.
I'm still not sure what it is though. Is it like a polo shirt? Does it have a collar? How is it different than a polo? I'm also curious because I have known you many years and can't think of you in anything but a blue oxford button down or a bowling shirt.
Sometimes there's a collar. Sometimes there's not.
But it's not so much about the collar as it is about the overall style and material (breathable synthetic) combined with the way it's worn.
I'll post a picture of a couple of the ones I have for you at some point.
